SciLifeLab Anubis

Three Research Environment and Development (RED) Postdoctoral Fellowship grants are open for applications in 2024. RED Postdoc Fellows will receive a 2-year contract (1 MSEK/yr) to work on self-designed research projects. Successful candidates will be matched to an existing research group and embedded in the unique interdisciplinary and collaborative research environment at SciLifeLab Campus Solna.

The DDD platform at SciLifeLab supports academic drug discovery project with expertise and technical capabilities. We have, for example, platforms to develop small molecule drugs, therapeutic antibodies, oligonucleotide therapeutics, proximity-inducing agents such as bispecific antibodies and PROTACs. The DDD offer includes full infrastructure support, a competitive/generous cost model, and full retention of ownership for the project proposer (the academic PI).

In this call, the Drug Discovery and Development Platform (DDD) at SciLifeLab is looking for new project proposals for drug discovery. All therapeutic modalities outlined above are of interest. DDD supports a project portfolio consisting of about 20 programs and we foresee a need to replenish our portfolio with 3-5 new programs this year. We are interested in programs with defined targets for diseases with medical needs. Therapeutic ideas based on technologies that can be extended to other targets and/or other indications are of special interest, i.e. therapeutic platform technologies, as are projects to develop therapeutic molecules with innovative mode-of-actions (e.g., targeted delivery or new modes-of-action for antisense oligonucleotides, small molecules, antibodies and/or proximity-inducers).

Note that small projects for selections in phage display libraries for antibodies, selections in DNA encoded chemical libraries for small molecules or limited screening for antisense or siRNA molecules can be considered.
